Shubie Beach is a homely place with much to see and more to do. Shubie Beach can be found in Shubie Park next to Lake Charles. Upon entering Shubie Park, a campground will become visible, next to the campground is the beach.
Shubie Beach has a distinct welcoming atmosphere. There is an inviting beach next to a wide open lake. From July 1 to August 31, there are lifeguards supervising the lake from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on fair weather days only. Kayaks are available for rental use at an affordable price; they are ideal for exploring the vast lake.
Aside from the beach/lake, there are 11 kilometers of trails found within Shubie Park – ideal for running, walking, or biking. There is also a dog park in which dogs are free to move without a leash. For baseball players, there is a field available for use. At the campground, there are washrooms and showers to freshen up after a long day. (For those who are interested, Shubie Campground is the closest campground next to downtown Halifax).
Fun Fact: Shubie Park got its name because the Shubenacadie Canal runs through it. During 1861 to 1871, the canal was used to transport goods from Halifax to the northern counties of Nova Scotia.

Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
